Vim li cas Teb Chaws Asmeskas Tub Rog Tub Rog tau muab Ukraine lub Loitering Munitions tshiab

Nag hmo lub Pentagon tshaj tawm tias nws tau xa ib qho tshiab, yav tas los tsis paub hom loitering munition rau Ukraine hu ua Phoenix Ghost. Tab sis thaum riam phom tiv thaiv tank raug xa los ntawm ntau txhiab, tsuas yog tus lej me me ntawm cov foob pob hluav taws raug xa mus. Cov riam phom tshiab no yog dab tsi, yog vim li cas lawv tuaj ntawm Air Force es tsis yog Tub Rog, thiab cov lej tuaj yeem nce ntxiv?

Loitering munitions, nrov hu ua kamikaze drones, yog ib qho tshiab thiab muaj peev xwm hloov pauv hom riam phom. Lawv qhov siab precision thiab muaj peev xwm taug qab thiab txheeb xyuas lub hom phiaj los ntawm qhov ntev ua rau lawv zoo tagnrho rau kev tsis sib haum xeeb xws li Ukraine, qhov chaw tiv thaiv hnyav heev hauv cov cuab yeej cuab tam thiab cov phom loj.

Kev xa khoom ntawm Switchblade loitering munitions tau tshaj tawm lub hli tas los, tab sis cov no yog qhov tseem ceeb qauv 300, ib tug 5.5 phaus riam phom nrog ib tug ntau ntawm rau mais thiab ib tug me me warhead zoo tiv thaiv cov neeg ua hauj lwm thiab lub teeb tsheb. Cov neeg tawm tswv yim cia siab rau cov khoom siv ntawm qhov loj dua Switchblade 600 tau tshaj tawm hauv xyoo 2020. Qhov no yog ib 33-pob riam phom nrog rau ntau tshaj 25 mais thiab lub sij hawm loiter tshaj 40 feeb, nrog rau lub taub hau hnyav piv rau ntawm Javelin missile tuaj yeem tshem tawm cov cuab yeej hnyav tshaj plaws. Cov Switchblades tuaj yeem ua tau siv nyob rau hauv pab neeg yos hav zoov-killer nrog Puma drones kuj muab los ntawm Asmeskas.

Los ntawm cov lej tso tawm kom deb li deb tau muaj xwb 100 Switchblade 300s nyob rau hauv thawj batch, nrog ib tug zoo xws li cov zauv nyob rau hauv lub thib ob batch thiab tsuas yog 10 Switchblade 600s. Qee cov neeg tawm tswv yim tau thov tias txhua tus 'Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems ' suav nrog chav tso tawm thiab kaum lub foob pob hluav taws, tab sis cov neeg tsim khoom AeroVironment
AVAV
lees paub rau Forbes tias ib qho system suav nrog ib lub foob pob.

Tus lej qis yuav zoo li vim tias US Army tsuas yog tsis muaj Switchblades ntau hauv Tshuag. Thaum lub Switchblade 300 tau siv txij li xyoo 2011 nws yeej ib txwm yog ib qho cuab yeej cuab tam, feem ntau yog siv los ntawm Cov Tub Rog Tshwj Xeeb, thiab cov ntaub ntawv muab tub rog qhia lawv. tsuas yog yuav 900 xyoo no, thiab 425 xyoo ua ntej - thiab tej zaum yuav tau siv feem ntau ntawm cov neeg nyob hauv Iraq, Syria thiab lwm qhov. Tus tshiab Switchblade 600 tsuas yog tau yuav hauv qhov kev sim ntau.

Qhov tsis txaus ntawm Switchblades yog qhov xav tau tom qab DoD tshaj tawm tshaj tawm tias nws tau xa Phoenix Ghost munitions rau Ukraine.

Tus thawj coj loj tiv thaiv tau hais tias lub drone tshiab tsis meej yog tsim los ntawm US Air Force tshwj xeeb rau Ukrainian cov cai - uas yuav xav tsis thoob vim nws qhia txog kev loj hlob ntawm ob peb lub lis piam. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby tom qab ntawd tau hais tias Phoenix Ntsuj Plig tau tsim ua ntej kev tawm tsam.

"Nws tau tsim los rau cov txheej txheem uas yuav tsum tau sib luag zoo li cov neeg Ukrainians xav tau tam sim no hauv Donbas," nws hais rau cov neeg sau xov xwm.

Pentagon tus thawj coj yuav tsis qhia meej txog Phoenix Dab, tsuas yog hais tias nws zoo li Switchblade, yog "tsim kom xa cov punch" thiab tuaj yeem siv nrog kev cob qhia tsawg. Nws tau tsim rau Air Force los ntawm AEVEX UAS, tus tsim Pentagon tus neeg cog lus, uas tseem tsis kam muab cov ntsiab lus.

AEVEX tsis paub tias yog tus tsim drone, thiab lawv lub tuam txhab chaw teev npe ntau yam haujlwm tab sis tsis muaj dab tsi ntawm qhov no. Tab sis a 2021 xovxwm tso tawm hais tias "lub tuam txhab ua txhua yam hauv qab lub kaus aerospace, zoo li cov ntaub ntawv sau software rau kev ua haujlwm hauv huab cua los tsim cov drones," thiab lub tuam txhab tau dhau los. tshaj tawm cov chaw ua haujlwm rau tactical drone tswv thiab cob qhia.

Cov lus nug loj yog seb Phoenix Dab puas yog qhov me me, luv luv lossis qee yam uas muaj peev xwm ncav cuag ntau dua uas tuaj yeem tshem tawm cov tso tsheb hlau luam. Politico tej zaum yuav tau teb qhov ntawd nyob rau hauv ob peb teev ntawm kev tshaj tawm los ntawm kev tham nrog so haujlwm Lt. Gen. David Deptula, tus thawj coj ntawm Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies thiab tus tswv cuab ntawm AEVEX pawg thawj coj.

Deptula hais rau Politico "Nws yog ib txoj kev dav hlau uas muaj txiaj ntsig zoo tiv thaiv cov phiaj xwm nruab nrab hauv av," Deptula hais rau Politico.

Raws li Deptula, Phoenix Ntsuj Plig tuaj yeem tawm mus ntsug thiab ya mus rau ntau tshaj li rau teev nrhiav lub hom phiaj nrog hnub ci thiab infrared sensors. Txawm tias qhov ceev ceev, qhov no txhais tau hais tias muaj ntau yam ntawm kaum mais.

Yog li peb muaj peb yam tseem ceeb ntawm cov ntaub ntawv. Ib qho yog tias Phoenix Ntsuj Plig tau tsim los ntawm Air Force, tsis yog tub rog uas tau ua cov foob pob tawg thiab tsav lub Switchblade thiab Huab cua Launched Effects (ALE) tsev neeg ntawm loitering riam phom rau nyoob hoom qav taub, thiab lwm yam loitering systems. Ib qho ntxiv yog tias "qhov nruab nrab armored" txhais tau tias nws tsis yog tsim los tshem tawm cov tso tsheb hlau luam tab sis qee qhov hom phiaj. Thiab qhov thib peb, muaj qhov ncua sij hawm loitering, ntev npaum li qhov xav tau rau kev siv hauv kev sib ntaus sib tua - yuav luag tag nrho cov foob pob hluav taws zoo sib xws rau tsawg dua ib teev.

Cov Tub Rog Tub Rog tsis txaus siab rau kev tshem tawm cov tso tsheb hlau luam ntau dua li tiv thaiv cov yeeb ncuab tiv thaiv huab cua. (Lub Tebchaws Lavxias Air Force qhov tsis ua tiav ntawm Ukraine S-300 Surface-to-air missiles thaum ntxov raws li kev cia siab tau ua rau lawv cov neeg tuag coob ntxiv). Ib txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj plaws los tiv thaiv lawv yog siv anti-radiation missiles, uas lub tsev nyob rau hauv lub radars coj saum npoo rau cua missiles. Cov neeg ua haujlwm teb tsuas yog tig radar rau ob peb feeb ntawm ib lub sijhawm. Yog li qhov xav tau rau loitering munitions uas tuaj yeem ncig hla thaj chaw sib ntaus sib tua rau lub sijhawm ntev.

Qhov no yog raws nraim lub luag hauj lwm ntawm lub Israeli Harpy, tsim lub voj voog cov yeeb ncuab tiv thaiv ntev txog cuaj teev thiab tuaj yeem nrhiav thiab rhuav tshem cov radar emitters uas tau qhib. Harpies rhuav tshem ntau lub tshuab tiv thaiv huab cua Azeri thaum lub sij hawm 2020 kev tsis sib haum xeeb. Nws lub hom phiaj yuav yog cov tsheb zoo li taug qab Buk missile launchers uas yog armored tab sis tsis hnyav li tanks. Lub Harpy tom qab tau muab cov sensors tshiab los ua Harop, uas tuaj yeem raug coj tawm tsam ntau lub hom phiaj tab sis uas kuj muaj lub sijhawm ntev tsis zoo.

Nws zoo nkaus li tias Ghost Phoenix yog Air Force riam phom rau kev tiv thaiv kev tiv thaiv uas zoo li Harpy, tuaj yeem rov ua dua los tua lwm lub hom phiaj raws li xav tau.

Ib zaug ntxiv, txawm li cas los xij, tus naj npawb ntawm cov riam phom tau muab tsawg, nrog rau qhov txawv txawv ntawm 121 Phoenix Ghost munitions. Ib tug kws tiv thaiv tau hais tias US muaj tsim "feem ntau" ntawm 121 drones hais tias tsis yog tag nrho cov ntawm lawv npaj yuav xa tuaj.

Kom meej meej muaj qhov xav tau muaj zog rau loitering munitions nyob rau hauv Ukraine, thiab US cov phiaj xwm yuav tau tshuaj xyuas los ntawm txhua qhov kev pab cuam kom pom tias dab tsi tuaj yeem khiav tawm mus rau pem hauv ntej. Tab sis scaling nce zus tau tej cov qauv tam sim no yuav siv sij hawm ntau lub hlis tsawg kawg yog muab lawv cov xwm txheej tshwj xeeb.

Ib qho kev xaiv yuav yog nrhiav qhov chaw tshiab ntawm loitering munitions los ntawm cov tuam txhab uas twb muaj lawm nyob txawv teb chaws. Hauv xyoo 2017 Ukraine tau kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus nrog Polish electronics tuam txhab WB Group rau lub tuam txhab Warmate loitering munition, ib tug kaum ib-phaus riam phom nrog ib tug ntau ntawm kaum mais. Txoj kev npaj yog los tsim lub tsheb thauj khoom txawb rau ntau lub Warmates raws li qhov project hu ua Sokol ("Falcon"). Qhov project tau khiav mus rau hauv cov teeb meem kev koom ua ke ntawm lub tsheb thiab drone, culminating nyob rau hauv ib rooj plaub nruab nrab ntawm Ukrainian developers thiab lawv tus kheej Ministry of Defense thaum Lub Yim Hli 2021. Tsis muaj Sokol lossis Warmate tshwm sim los ua haujlwm.

Lub Pentagon yav dhau los tau qhia txog kev txaus siab rau Hero series ntawm loitering munitions ua los ntawm Israeli tuam txhab uVision, suav nrog Hero - 120 uas tuaj yeem nqa tawm lub tank los ntawm 25 mais deb. Ib zaug ntxiv cov lus nug yuav yog thaum twg lawv tuaj yeem xa tuaj.

Ukraine ntsib tus neeg sib tw muaj peev xwm pound lawv nrog hnyav artillery thiab foob pob ua ntxaij los ntawm qhov ntev, thaum nqa cov armored formations los sim breakthroughs. Ukrainian loitering munitions tuaj yeem silence cov artillery thiab rhuav tshem armored assaults ua ntej lawv pib - yog hais tias lawv tsuas tau txaus ntawm lawv.
